So uhh, i dont know if anyone has seen this.. but here you go

http://androidcommunity.com/galaxy-s-android-2-3-gingerbread-update-imminent-20110225/

It looks like a legit release for 2.3 for Galaxy S. If thats the case, how hard would it be to port it from that to the captivate?

and a march release :D

Oh and btw... dont flame me if its wrong or anything.. im just a guy posting something he found... which may help out the community -.-
[Captivate General] AJerman:
I think this has been posted a couple of times (can't remember, but I know I've seen it around the web a couple of times). Either way, right now it's a "friend of a friend said this" type thing. Until there is some proof myself and many others will remain skeptical.

Another issue is that the Galaxy S phones are much more popular in other parts of the world. With Samsung trying to charge all the carriers upgrade fees like they did with 2.2, causing a lot of the delays, the carriers may not be interested in upgrading the phone to 2.3 even if Samsung has it ready. Especially since we're going to see the SGS 2 and multiple other newer and better phones out by then. The Captivate and other SGS phones will be low end phones by then, and the carriers probably won't want to pay Samsung for updates to an old phone.
[Captivate General] supaphreek:
oh man! so theres the possibility of never seeing a legit 2.3? :S i guess il have to live with CM7.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
ANY custom rom will be better than the rom its based off of.

WHO CAN?

XDA CAN!!
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
This "issue" was debunked a long time ago.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Was it? I hadn't heard that, but I didn't pay that much attention to the AT&T release of 2.2 since I've been running 2.2 for months.

Either way, even if it doesn't come to a money issue, it's still going to come down to the same issue. The SGS 2 will have replaced the SGS by the time Samsung would have Gingerbread ready, and I wouldn't doubt at all if this phone never saw another update. It was hard enough to get 2.2 out of Samsung when this phone was their flagship, let along getting them to push one more update when it's replacement is already ready.

Edit: Just read an article about that, you're right. I hadn't seen Samsung's reply to that rumor. I guess that just makes Samsung lazy and not lazy and greedy, haha.
[Captivate General] fatttire:
It was debunked by Samsung denying it, which means it wasnt really debunked.

I wouldn't expect them to be public about such things....you can have a "price to prioritize" or something which is essentially the same thing but allows you to say you aren't charging for the upgrade.

I'm not saying I know what's going on, I'm just saying I don't trust Samsung at their word.
[Captivate General] shust82:
Why do you assume it was samsung that held back the update? It was more than likely ATT, being that other providers had already released the update.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I896
[Captivate General] tysj:
Pretty sure there would be some sort of outcry from carriers if Samsung was lying. There would probably be more legal ramifications if Samsung lied about not charging for updates rather than some bad publicity about charging for the updates.
[Captivate General] WillyWonka23:
Samsung did its part in holding up the update by not wanting to pay the fee the service providers were charging. Same goes with all carriers that were way behind on the 2.2 update.
[Captivate General] ragincajun713:
I'll be skipping it. I had problems with the 2.2 update and just flashed my first ROM. So much faster and the battery lasts a ton longer
[Captivate General] opcow:
You're stating the obvious. Why would anyone modify a ROM to make to inferior to the original? It would be nice if there were an original 2.3 to base something on.
[Captivate General] a.vandelay:
he means custom source-built rom.
[Captivate General] opcow:
No what he is doing is his usual routine of taking a dump on any post where someone mentions being interested in Samsung firmware releases, because he thinks what is already out via third-parties is all anyone with a brain should want. And yet the AT&T Froyo release resulted in, in my opinion, the best ROM yet from DesignGears.
[Captivate General] davwman:
you obviously haven't tried any 2.2.1 i9000 roms then... Because they blow the doors off any official froyo rom from samsuck. I tried cog 4 and torch and it lagged beyond belief, no offense to dg, but its samsucks fault.
[Captivate General] mortuus.x:
I was running the official Rogers 2.2. and it was better than the official 2.1 that I played around with for a few days first to compare. However, putting Firefly 2.3 (and Andromeda 1.2 before that) I can certainly confirm that the custom rom route is definitely the way to go. MUCH faster (lagfix probably has huge impact on this) far more functional (rooted) better battery consumption (custom kernels) and IMO far better support. I can tell you I fully expect that XDA and the like would provide far superior peer based support than you'd get from your provider. Of course chances are if you weren't putting custom stuff on your phone you'd be far less likely to need it, but the collective knowledge here for general support of devices is far more impressive than some tech support drone that you'd speak to if you called in to you provider.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
Let's be honest, this phone could have come with 2.2 on it already when it shipped. Samsung took quite a while to get 2.2 ready even for the I9000s. There are always going to be carriers delays after it's ready, but Samsung took their time as well.
[Captivate General] nybmx:
Froyo was announced less than 2 months before this phone shipped. The source wasn't available until less than a month before. I see no problem with shipping with 2.1 under these circumstances.
[Captivate General] opcow:
I've used 2.2.1 ROMs and they are great. If I recall Serendipity is one and it was my favorite prior to Andromeda (which is 2.2 i9010 based and very fast). Cog 4.1 is the first of DGs ROM I've used for more than a day in months; I haven't been a huge fan. As soon as i9000 kernels became mostly trouble free I moved on. I'm not saying the others were bad and I'm not saying 4.1 is better than brand x, I just like it better than previous DG ROMs I tried.

As for your lag problems with Cog 4.1, I don't doubt you, I just don't have it, but I'm using the Paragon kernel which may account for our different experiences.
[Droid Incredible General] Grift:
Im running the OMFGB Rom that I downloaded through

Rom manager, but I don't know what the real name of the

Rom is and can't find a thread on it in the forums.

Can anyone point me to the roms original thread so I can

Keep up with it. I really like the rom..
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
OMFGB is the name of the ROM.

It was removed from this site because of issues with the developer doing naughty things (I don't know very many details on it).

In other words, I don't think you'll find much support on it- but worth a try I suppose.
[Droid Incredible General] football0552:
you can find more info for it on the developers new site, google R2doesInc if you want to find it.
[Droid Incredible General] dpwhitty11:

I'm neural in the whole episode. Just pointing out that when you post like this you actually make the whole dramatic incident more intriguing to those that are unaware (like me)

[Droid Incredible General] Div033:
He released his rom with wares in it... and was banned shortly after.

Devs you think are perfectly fine will do something that displeases the general public here and will disappear shortly after. From then on all you'll hear are cryptic comments about said dev, which as you said, only piques curiosity.

Not too much unlike a mob movie.

I think the whole things kinda silly. I used to like one developer named IncredibleDoes but one day he vanished and all I've read is how "taboo" and unforgivable his actions were. I actually have no idea what happened to him.

This is a place where users become attached to devs. We like their creations, heck some even donate. Still people will disregard this completely in saying "oh no not this again" when someone is genuinely curious.

Also, I think Smokeey was being sarcastic, ridiculing the very thing I am criticizing here.

[Droid Incredible General] superchilpil:
He also took myns Rom from the evo, from a beta port by incubus I was told and themed it over to call it his own

At first he gave credit but then he slowly deleted it in his posts, oh and this is where the warez was from too

He did then what he's doing now, finding fixes from other peoples roms and puts them in his Rom

Flame me all u want, I don't trust him or jdk, or even incdoes after what he did
[Droid Incredible General] Div033:
I'm not flaming anybody. In fact that sounds like a terrible thing to do and he probably deserves the animosity displayed here. I'm just saying this community cultivates an environment where people will invest emotionally in a developer. So people shouldn't lash out when someone's curious as to why a once respected person has suddenly disappeared. It would help to have a sticky or something regarding developer "departures".

good analogy. :)

except for BlackDroid, he's the dev that just won't disappear. Not too much unlike the Loch Ness Monster

xda should ****list his site as spam. Stupid little teenagers using numbers as letters thinking its cool.
[Droid Incredible General] superchilpil:
You know that actually soubday like a great idea, that way no rumor develops and there's a reference to his ban
[Droid Incredible General] smoonyheim:
Anyone able to explain what wares on a rom mean to those of us who don't know?
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
It means he put others work into his and said it was his and he also put paid market items into his rom.
[Droid Incredible General] wdfowty:
I just find it so funny that the people that defend him the most all ended up as moderators on his site. I'm honestly tired of the advertising.
[Droid Incredible General] POQbum:
Well he sounds like a douche haha

I can see why they removed it now.
[Droid Incredible General] edward_g:

But ill be pissed out if OMGB becomes available on the Thunderbolt

New forum, new noobz to ask why isn't this Rom here
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
surprised that this tread inst closed yet... i feel if he would admit that he got cough we should give him a second chance. (im no way defending him but i feel everyone should be able to repent for there sin's)
[Droid Incredible General] Smokeey:
I was being sarcastic and IncDoes was banned for selling phones that didn't exist. He was a great dev too but he f'ed up. Honestly, R2 was an ahole to me quite a long time ago. (First GB thread he kept posting "PROGRESS???" and I told him it'll be done when its done and he had a hissy fit).
[Droid Incredible General] najaboy:
He gave himself multiple second chances when he created new accounts to circumvent the ban.
[Droid Incredible General] Skrillex1:
Unfortunately R2 isn't a teenager, and I'm 100% sure that plenty of adults have used leet speak.
[Droid Incredible General] SynisterWolf:
Making new accounts doesn't count as second chances. when he was called out by the mods on xda he should have admit he stole work and not just make a new account. I'm sure the mods told him not to post others work and paid ware in his roms before they hit the ban button. He should have heard there warnings.
[Droid Incredible General] wdfowty:
He has his own website, how many second chances does he need? lol

edit. BTW, IncDoes isn't banned, yet. He's just ashamed to show his avatar around here because of the people he's apparently scammed.
[Droid Incredible General] PeakyBoo:
May I ask what happened here? What did this dev do to make this ruckus?

Should we all stay away from him? T.Y in adv

Ok forget it ..Just read the whole post.. Thanks
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TareX:
So since there's no way to get ICS (2.4? 3.0? 3.1?) on the Atrix without Motorola releasing a compatible kernel, my question is:

When did Motorola release a compatible kernel for the locked Droids after Froyo was released last June on the Nexus One last year?

I just need to know when I should expect Ice Cream on the Atrix by XDA (won't wait for Motorola). Because without GPU acceleration I think the Atrix will provide an inferior experience to the Nexus S when the latter receives the summer update. Not to mention how inexperienced everyone is with Tegra 2, compared to Hummingbird.

Thanks.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] franciscojavierleon:
as of right now the next version is gingerbread (2.3) so forget about ice cream. the droid 2 / X hasn't even got 2.3 yet, motorola may do only one OS upgrade per phone so the atrix will probably only get 2.3

If 2.3 proves to be unoptimized for the tegra 2 then MAYBE we will get 2.4, but since it doesn't exist yet it will be end of the year AT LEAST.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TareX:
I'm not talking about Motorola's updates, but rather, when they would be expected to release a compatabile Kernel for the devs to work with.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neer2005:
When they crack the bootloader.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TareX:
I see; so how long did it take to crack the Droid X's bootloader?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hotleadsingerguy:
We'll let you know when it happens.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TareX:
Woah.

So I guess Nexus S it is! Netarchy with 1.2.5 cfs kernel with cm7-rc1 already runs Flash super buttery smooth (overclock not needed) so I doubt there'll be any real-life gains to having a dual-core smartphone till Dell releases their Ice Cream in September, and even then, we'll be 2 months away from a Google Experience Dual Core Nexus...

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Is there a flashable version of stock eclair via the stock recovery?

If so, you could do that.... then using the phone download the update.zip to root.

THEN you could flash CWR and flash a custom ROM.

All of this could be done from the phone browser... I've never looked to see if a stock eclair was out there you could flash via stock recovery though. Check the DEV BIBLE.

[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CyrylTheWolf:
Hey folks. Just need some opinions or hopefully some knowledge that will lead to a solution.

I do NOT want my phone to sync time on the network. I have always set my phone 6 minutes ahead of the clock where I work. (For a myriad of reasons.)

I have disabled network time and such. I did this with my phone when I first got it and it worked just fine.

Recently wiped the phone, cache, etc to get 2.2 on there. Was the deodex version that adrynalyne put out at the following link. (Although I think that the post has been edited since then...)

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=948679

I used Odin to flash EB01, got the RED Clockwork update, cleared cache (several times), updated the ROM image from the SD card, etc. Everything works pretty well now I suppose. Seems faster in many ways but more importantly, performs more consistently.

No other mods like Voodoo, etc...

But I CAN NOT get the clock to stay at the time that I set it to. It seems to drop 11 minutes back and that causes problems for me. (Was late to work one morning because of it.)

I can't pinpoint WHY it's doing this. I can't figure exactly what time of day it's happening. But I check it every night and it is 100% guaranteed that the time changes back. It's not even in sync with the network time. I have turned on the network time and it jumps forward a few minutes. I then turn it off again and set the time 6 minutes forward where I need it.

Getting a little aggro about this. I have a few basic alarm programs installed, etc. But none of these screwed with the time on 2.1. Not much of my software load has changed. I have recently started using "SystemPanel" for managing my phone. (Which does an excellent job from what I can tell...)

Any idea why my time keeps changing back, folks? I really haven't been successful in finding any answers.
[Galaxy Tab General] lockheedload:
Look at the xoom right now. It's got a ton of issues that are going to take a while to get sorted out. I don't want to play that game. I love my tab with mobile data, because I spend a majority of my time in places that do not have wifi. But I hate paying for another data plan on top of my captivate. I've experimented using the tab as my main device and it works out for me perfect. I always use a headset or it's synced to my car over bluetooth. That's normal for me. I'm always on my tab so I'm always carrying it around anyways. So it's like a giant captivate to me and I'm perfectly content with that. Long battery, lots of screen and no extra data plan to pay for. Adios tmobile tab, hello att tab. It's such a shame that this may be the last device that can be made to just accept my att sim and work as my phone. I'm never getting rid of my tab!

[Galaxy Tab General] pwrsrc:
I don't really care if the tab gets an official release of honeycomb. If an unofficial release is developed and proves to be fully functional then I will definitely upgrade so I can get any honeycomb only apps. Other than that, I don't really care.

My galaxy is my main device. I take it with me everywhere. I can't imagine lugging around anything bigger without needing a bag. If I need bigger, I'll take my tablet pc with me.

I'm just hoping that Samsung and other companies continue to release tablets around the same size as the galaxy so I have something to upgrade to later on. I have to use my iphone once in a while and the thing feels so tiny! I feel like that giant using the cellphone in that one tv commercial. :D
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codec1O1:
I'm just going to throw this out there, don't know if it's a bug or just some setting I can't find.

I had the 1/23/11 build running fine on my Sprint HTC Hero. Updated to the 2/25/11 build. My contacts are synced with my gmail account and it retrieved them just fine, but now for the phone number labels, it no longer shows mobile, home or work. It has instead Home Fax, Pager, Other, Callback, Car, Company Main, ISDN and Work Fax.

In my contact list on my gmail acct they are listed ok with the mobile, home, etc. but the phone won't show the correct labels.

Even if I add a new contact, synced or not it does not have those above mentioned labels in there anymore.

Any ideas as to what might have happened?

I must give props though, everything does seem a lot faster and cleaner then my previous version, nice work!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] codec1O1:
After trial and error, figured out it was the circle_battery mod doing this. It was also make other buttons, labels display as random words, sometimes symbols on buttons and links also, not just the contacts.

Wiped, Reflashed the ROM, gapps and FR-Boot, bye bye circlebatterymod.

In the Corporate (Exchange) mail. There is NO SEARCH button. I cannot find it on any menus either. I did download touchdown and am able to search in there but either I can't find it in the regular email program or it's a huge blunder by the Honeycomb team and they forgot to include one.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Sorry this has never been a feature of stock Android, ever. Not to say that it won't come, but they just haven't ever included it for whatever reason.
[Xoom General] joereist:
Pure speculation, but i think the search is missing because it would be restricted to messages downloaded to the xoom, missing anything residing on the server, reducing the usefulness of the search results.

For example, searching my gmail inbox from the mail app on my iphone never gives me anything past 10 recent emails.
[Xoom General] mrsexkey:
My evo has email search and I have used it a ton of times. Kinda pissed it isn't included.
[Xoom General] Bauxite:
Your evo has HTC sense to handle corporate/regular email.
[Xoom General] Inphinitizeit:
You might try using K9 Mail. They just released an update to make it compatible with honeycomb albeit not optimized.
[Xoom General] peacefulwarrior42:
I have XOOM and will probably return it because of this problem. FYI the built in Apple IPAD email reader is able to search local exchange mail correctly. Also the IPAD reader has a very useful preview funciton that I am used to in exchange and neither the built in email reader nor touchdown have this feature. bummer!
[Xoom General] jimcapraro:
not included in the first honeycomb OS update

Well, my xoom just received the update to prepare it for the 3/18 adobe flash download -- email search was not included in this upldate. I too really miss this feature.

[Xoom General] mjpacheco:
Think "Software platform", and then go download K9, it's free, or buy Touchdown. One does not have to rely on stock apps.
[Xoom General] jonscilz:
@Bauxite ...

WRONG... vanilla froyo and gingerbread (as well as all versions before that i think?) have ALWAYS had stock email search capabilities as well as systemwide searching. have you ever looked at just about every android device with the harware spyglass button at the bottom??

whats up xoom/motorola/google? this could be a dealbreaker for most people including me.
[Xoom General] bankster:
no email search

Pretty poor coming from a company who is al about search.
[Xoom General] m.carrick:
Is there any update to this?

I have an ASUS Transformer and it is VERY annoying not to have search functionality in the browser. I use IMAP and not Exchange so I can't figure out how to make Touchdown work either (plus I would rather not pay money)

Fix this, Google!!
